Wilderness Retreat

A Hook Without Bait

Wilderness Retreat is a small rustic resort in Northern Minnesota with guests that are mainly families and fishermen. The owners, Edy and Joe Clarke treat their guests like old friends and are disappointed and confused when one of their guests doesnt want any part of the fun and camaraderie the others share. Who wouldnt want to watch bears at the dump, sing karaoke, or listen to Polka music? Adam Rizzio came to the resort wearing dress slacks, a white shirt, five oclock shadow and an attitude. Hes tall, dark and dangerous looking. With new fishing gear, he goes out in his boat each day, but no one believes for a moment that he is a fisherman. Where does he go; what does he do all day out on the lake? Everyone back at the lodge has a theory including, Joes best friend Sheriff Tom Walker. Can Adam Rizzio actually catch a fish on a hook without bait?
